I was in Orchard Road and this place was infested of young surveyors bothering you. I'm sure you would have encountered some girls approaching you with a notepad, "Sir, are you a Singaporean?"

This is usually followed by some other senseless questions if you choose to entertain them.

Their silly tactics will be asking you to draw a lucky draw coupon and pretend that you've "won" something and the idiot girl will jump up and down yelling, screaming “you've won!” as if you struck 4D. Then call a supervisor over and he or she will be equally excited, then invite you over to their stupid talk.

In order just to claim the prize, you have to attend a 3 hours talk which you have to fill up a form including your credit card. They tell you if you have credit card you get more freebies. In reality, they knew you're carrying credit cards so even you have no cash to buy for their plan, they will “force” you to sign the dotted line using credit cards instead.

This is a timeshare company, I'm talking about my friends.

I have kanna twice which I listened to their talk however in both occasion I got their free gifts.

What timeshare plan? I don't know.

What free gifts? This, I know.
(I know, I'm a cheap Charlie at times)

I learn how to avoid these pests using the following tactics. If they about to approach you,

A) Put on 'buay song' look, like wanted to pick a fight. They will think twice before approaching. Remember never, ever smile at them even they're are extremely pretty, not only it would be cruel to give them false hope but it also contradicting yourself.

B) Or you can scratch your groin area and grin at them like horny old man.

When all failed, is not lost yet. I have personal tried this and it work!

Girl: Sir, are you available for a quick survey? Only take a few minutes.

Me: Yes, why not (Stare at her breasts).

Girl: "Sir, are you a Singaporean?"

Me: Yes (Stare at her breasts and breathing heavily like Darth Vader.)

Girl: Do you like traveling?

Me: I like places with BIG mountains so to speak. (Still staring at her breast and breathing like Darth Vader at the same time “Slurp” “Slurp”)

Next thing I knew, she gone.

Why so hard of these kids? The thing is we should discourage them from talking of these surveying jobs. They should work in Macdonald, not some scam job.
